Millions? Really?
I guess I must be wrong then......if 'literally millions' are reading it.
Millions can't be wrong, as we all know the road to heaven is wide.
(And the road to hell is very narrow)
.....But then again, millions of church goers are addicted to porn, so , on second thought,
I don't think I'll gauge my moral compass by the direction that "millions" are going.
- Not any millions, not any time soon.

I would not like that you wrote it but i would need to know the motive for doing so, But it's not in the nature of Jesus to judge others so i would hope i would not. I don't know for sure if hp is evil or not i just don't believe it is, but i also know arguing about it here isn't going to do anything. It doesn't effect me because i don't let it, my main focus is god not hp. It's like saying to a good pastor hey you like to eat and drink more than you should, so you must not be a good christian. You like to sin so you must not be a christiain. We all sin, and we wouldn't do it if we didn't like it. But we as christians put our faith in god and do not let sin be the focus of our lives.
... Yeah... Minerva is the name of the goddess, her owl is her owl, and not itself named Minerva.
No, the whole times I've said that there is a goddess named Minerva, whom Prof McGonagal is named after and said goddess has an owl, for whom the prof is not named.
No. I didn't say that at all. I said they where not the same being...
Are you railing against teaching now?
Back to the point, being named after Minerva doesn't make the thing evil, many people are directly or indirectly named after gods and goddesses of myths..
At this point its hard not to ask you to learn to read... I said that being named after a pagan god or godess does not make one evil. As in my previous post I pointed out that the server at my local Greek restaurant is named Aphrodite, being named that does not make her evil.

Deputy headmaster\headmistress can be either gender, like in most modern schools. The school also has female headmasters (headmistresses) from time to time as well (including McGonagal herself). It does not fit the occult archetype you posted.
You're trying to force a conspiracy in in ways that would make Dan Brown Proud.

Since Hollywood movies entertains the flesh, how do we know it is not trying somehow to influence us? Which one of you who is for this prayed before they watched and ask God to show you whether or not it's good or evil? How is it that it is wrong to go to a meeting of witches, but we can watch witchcraft all day long and it's all right? Either way, it's entertainment to some. If it is sin in a live performance, then it's sin on a DVD or on the TV. How is it that everything they act out IS sin, yet millions believe there's no harm in it? James 1:8 [SUP]8 [/SUP]A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
The old definition? Scripture doesn't re-define the word, it uses it as ones reasoning mind many times. Even in John 1:1 it isn't as much a re-definition as it is a redirection of philosophies that already existed to apply to Christ.
No his word won't pass away. But depending on how you mean settled it may be inaccurate. His Word is quite alive and flowing and not a still pool.
Yes, I meant that you don't know the Word. But it's amusing that you who throw such damnation and worse around on a regular basis would balk at being charged with the same.

Okay i feel I need to explain what is going on here. First off, everyone here is standing firm in their beliefs. No one is going to budge, its like trying to get a stubborn donkey to follow you. Second, there are two kinds of posts here. One is simply to change someones minds, others here i feel just like to argue. Which is the whole reason this thread was made, have none of you noticed the only popular threads are ones that ppl argue in? This is no longer a debate ppls its a war, So knowing no one is going to change their minds why are we really posting on here? Is it not clear the devil loves dividing us? I notice ppl make threads that would be a popular debate subject but never respond to it at all, it just becomes a war zone. And everyone is getting worked up because ppl do not agree with them, All i am asking is for everyone to open their eyes here, I am going to go read my bible or something instead of wasting my time arguing about this. I invite others to do the same, or you could keep playing into this trap its up to you. Have a nice day everyone:]
Probably none of us who live near a gang would go and sit on the grandstands watching two gangs fight it out, knowing we might get hurt. But we think it's okay to watch it on TV, believing we won't get our hands dirty. But what about our hearts?
Just because it's physically safe doesn't mean it spiritually safe.

Honestly ... if handnt become familiar with a lot of things i shouldn't have done .. I
Might not have come to know God as well as I do now.. Because of it, I have come to respect Hod
More for it .. As well as have a "working" knowledge of how deeply things not of God can affect me.. Took a lot of tough lessons to come to this .. Wouldnt trade it for anything..so can I say no don't watch it ? Well like it or not we aren't in control of any of what others do.. Or What God is allowing for His greater
Purpose.. I don't think (no , i know) I would not have near the zeal for the things of God if I hadn't have had comparative contrasts to measure Him to ... I got real dirty in the pit... when god washed me off .. the difference was like going to the carwash with a little bit of dust on ya, compared to what a truck looks going in after all day four wheeling in mud".
It's because of such things..
also, now that i "know" who covers me... It's now like watching. A double movie.. you see all sorts if things in the spiritual realm when watching such things .. Pretty cool actually

One still may try.
Argumentation is part of persuasion. I suppose you mean that some posts are only combative without much argumentation though.
The trinity, over 100 paged and going
This is in fact right. We're fundamentally talking about radically different approaches to scripture and the world. It never was just about a random popular work of fiction
Honestly, I started posting here to back Tintin's stand. I don't mind a little duelling though.
He does, but its us who should be dividing us. The church needs a revival, and " A revival of religion presupposes a declension."
"A revival is nothing else than a new beginning of obedience to God." As such we need to find out what God actually wants of us. I would say what the anti-potter crowd is doing is adding to Gods law and expectations and creating a pointless millstone, and as such is not approaching true obedience. They of course would say the freedom is not true obedience.
And so we should be divided. The right side must win to have a revival.

One more thing , when we watch such things its an opportunity to take what we've seen to God or bring God into it with us, let Him interact in on the action with us.. It's all about the relationship isn't it ? Yeah I think I'll invite the God I know to watch a movie with me .. The God I know is pretty cool like that .. gives me
An opportunity not to leave Him out but bring Himin for continual conversation with Him..
My God rocks like that
